Japanese magazine Famitsu has revealed some more details on Pikmin and Donkley Kong: Jungle Beat. The games will be released for Wii next year as part of the Play It On Wii range which sees classic GameCube titles being revamped for the Wii.

According to the Famitsu article, you'll be able to direct your little creatures by pointing at them with the Wii Remote and pressing A to pick them up or B to shout to them.

As for Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, Nintendo has sensibly ditched the bongos in favour of a more traditional control system. You may remember that you had to move DK by hitting the bongos but on Wii you'll be using the Nunchuk's analogue stick to move him around and pressing A to jump.

Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is set for release on Wii in Japan on 11 December with Pikmin following two weeks later on 25 December.

If this is the "NEW PIKMIN" that they've been talking about I'm really angry.

It's all part of Nintendo's "Retro sells" scheme in my opinion. They probably thought "well the Gamecube produced almost the same graphics as the Wii, let's just slap a Wii sticker on it and sell it again!"

I mean it definitely is a smart move, no doubt, but the existing Nintendo fan gets ripped off.

BAD MOVE NINTENDO! &*@$%*&

Yeah, fair point. I'm glad about this too, as those are a few titles I never got down to playing on the GameCube, so I'll be sure to pick them up.
Then again, I still have the bongos stashed away from Donkey Konga somewhere. It'd be nice to have a reason to get them out again, so maybe I'll opt for the GC version. Hm...

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy I agree, but also it's about self control and realistic thinking. We wouldn't feed a dog soda, so why feed it to ourselves? Eating unhealthy food because it's cheap is one thing, but I'm sure you know people who drink soda routinely when they should be drinking water which is free.
    I get it can feel mean to say "no treat sweet beverage for you anymore" but for many people it's just in their way of life.
